Starting with humanistic concern and rational analysis — creating public value through design.
I'm Wu Mingju (Casper) — currently pursuing a Master of Urban Design at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, building on a Bachelor's degree in Urban Planning and Design from Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.
I focus on translating research into implementable solutions through strong analytical thinking, design proficiency, and user-centered methodologies. I'm experienced in managing the complete workflow — from investigation and data analysis to strategy formulation, prototyping, and final delivery.
What sets me apart is the ability to approach problems from multiple perspectives with the same design rigor, creating work that is not only visually compelling but also deeply functional and grounded in real user needs.
